This review is solely based on their pizza since I see that they have a pretty large menu and I…read morereally can't judge the other items. We strolled in at around 5:45 on an early Saturday evening on a brick cold New Jersey day and they were BUSSSSY. There weren't many patrons dining inside their small restaurant, but there seemed to be PLENTY of takeout business for whole pies and delivery too. In addition, they had, if my count was correct, at least 9 gentlemen working behind the counter, which pretty much speaks for the volume of business they have (else they are grossly overemployed and overpaying). From what I saw just based on the pizzas on display next to the cash register, the slices looked pretty good. Unfortunately, as the old saying goes, looks can be deceiving. Not to say that the pizza was bad, but it could have been better on multiple fronts. We ordered 4 slices - plain cheese, pepperoni, buffalo and a Santoni's Special. In addition, my wife, veering on the healthier (and smarter) side, ordered a pear salad with chicken. First, I didn't get to try the pear salad, but my wife raved about how good it actually was and how she thoroughly enjoyed it as we munched on our pizza, which she should have been jealous of, but shockingly wasn't. Second, the pizza. My kids ate almost the entirety of their plain cheese and pepperoni slices, so I didn't have a chance to try them, other than a few roni cups that my son claimed were too spicy for him. As for my slices, the buffalo and Santoni's Special, the buffalo was a doozy. When I bite into a buffalo pizza slice, there's nothing I hate more than the fact that it lacks buffalo flavoring and this one was one of those cases. It was more on the side of just tasting like a chicken pizza slice with a slight hint of buffalo flavoring, if that. The Santoni's Special was a bit better in that it had green peppers, sausage, pepperoni, onion and mushroom. It reminded me of a Sbarro supreme slice of pizza. It might not seem like much of a compliment, but I actually enjoyed the Santoni's Special, albeit it was not on the piping hot side, nor did it keep is shape. In fact, neither slice I had was hot, which was very surprising considering that it took a while for them to be served to us, which can only have meant that it was heated up in the oven --- or so I thought????? Also, both slices I ate completely fell apart in that when I tried to fold them in half (like how a true New Yorker eats their slices of pizza), they cracked at the crust and broke creating a fissure looking like I had cut the pizza in that area. It was somewhat annoying as I had to eat the slice with 2 hands, which to me, is a big no-no as one should be able to devour a slice by holding it with just one hand. What self-righteous pizza lover holds a slice of pizza with 2 hands? Well, I had to unfortunately because of the fault line on my pizza. The pizza here definitely has potential and I don't know what a whole pie would taste like, but I'm pretty sure it would be fresher than the slices we had. I get that pizzas where slices are served from are typically sitting out for long periods, but you gotta heat the slices up a lot longer. Cold pizza should only be reserved for the morning when you wake up from that hang over and don't have the mental acuity to throw it in the oven or microwave it.

The pizza is just as great at this Ridgewood offshoot as it is at the original Hackensack location…read moreof the Coal Burning Brick Oven Pizzeria......AND, unfortunately, the service is almost just as subpar as well. After visiting the Hackensack location recently, we decided to give the other location in Ridgewood a try as well since we loved the pizza so much at the original. We dropped in at around 5:15pm on a very quiet Memorial Day weekend Sunday evening and, as expected, the restaurant was also very, very quiet. We were only the 2nd group of diners for the evening, although it did get pretty busy as the evening wore on, including many pick up orders. We ordered a Caesar Salad to start along with the Combo Platter, which came with some fried ravioli, fried mozzarella, & chicken fingers. First, the Caesar Salad ---- we ordered it just to get some greens in our systems, but it was pretty much like the one served in Hackensack. The croutons in the salad were just cut up pieces of the bread that they include in the order as a side, but stale-tasting. As for the Combo Platter, that was decent, but the fried ravioli felt a bit empty, as in it felt like I was just eating a square piece of fried dough with no filling. The fried mozzarella and chicken fingers were decent, however, having some marinara sauce to dip them in DEFINITELY helped. For our entree, we shared a medium Tomato & Cheese pie with 1/2 Pepperoni. As I said, the reason we came here was because we absolutely loved the pie from the Hackensack location and didn't expect anything less here. The pizza pie came out piping hot, which was a great sign. Flavor-wise it was fantastic - the tang of the tomato sauce was delicious and the amount of cheese was perfect. Honestly, it was still one of the best pizzas I've EVERRRR had and I've had my fair share of pizza in NYC and New Haven. BUT...yes, there's a BUT here, where in Sam Hill was the pepperoni?!?! I encountered just a measly 9 pepperonis in total on the half of the pie that had it. Seriously, 9?!?! If I can count the number of pepperoni cups on the pizza, you better believe there is a problem...BIG problem. At the Hackensack location, we had the problem of having TOO MANY pepperoni cups, including 2 or 3 stacked one on top of the other. Anyhow, the pizza was still great, but more evenly spread pepperoni would have helped. Soooo, back to the service though. I'm not sure what it is about both locations, but the waiters really come off as rude - no "You're Welcomes", no "How is everything going? Can I get you anything?" Not much interaction at all. To be honest, not a whole lot of professionalism. At the Hackensack location, the waiters seem a bit more seasoned, but something still seems off, while at the Ridgewood location, we just didn't feel very welcome. Maybe we were being a bit sensitive, but having felt like we have dined everywhere, it felt easy identifying the "blah" service. Doubt it was an off night. Bottom line. The pizza is GREAT here and you definitely get your money's worth with the large, but don't come here thinking you're walking into the Cheers bar anytime soon.

Hi All, I have been…read moregoing there on and off with my family for a good few years now. Good basic Italian menu. Recently I went ahead and ordered for myself online for a pickup. I then received a verification email with the total price. My surprise was that the price I paid cash at the restaurant was more than what was stated in the email. I discussed it with the owner and he mentioned that the price of the item was incorrect online and that it was his fault that he had not updated it. However, no chance at correcting the error that he made. So, my advice at this time is to avoid ordering online, if you can, and to call in the order instead. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth unfortunately.

This is A+ pizzeria pizza…read more Cheese pie: the sauce has a lot of Italian spices in it, making it way more flavorful than the average pizzeria sauce. The cheese is perfectly cooked with little brown spots in all the right places. The crust was crispy (but not burnt) with little bubbles on the bottom. Truly a great pizzeria pie. This is the true reason for the 5 stars! Grandma pie: this is what I had heard everyone comes for. The sauce is GREAT -- perfect amount of garlic and chunkiness. Awesome flavor. But, I would give this 4 stars because the crust was very crispy all the way through, and I like a little fluffiness in my square pies, even if they're not Sicilian. This was suuuper crispy. Both were delicious, and I will for sure be back!

I think this is part of the old Green Fusion menu, which may have been a vegan restaurant. The not so great: The restaurant was pretty empty, but we still waited a really long time for our food (around 45 min). The explanation we received was that it was being made fresh, but isn't that the expectation? The decor is pretty nondescript; I think they may be going for a retro vibe, but its hard to tell. It was also weirdly quiet, like eating in a library. They have live music in the evenings, so maybe it's more lively during dinner.  We ordered: Arugula & Pear Salad - This was delicious and vegan! Farm House Hash - Good enough, but nothing special. The french fries were unnecessary considering the hash browns. I love potatoes, but this was too much even for me. Also, this comes with avocado per the menu, but they were noticeably missing. I asked and they brought me a side of , but this seems like another kink to work out.
